Washington - MENA
The Daesh supporters on Twitter have launched a campaign of threats against Americans, the Site Intelligence Group reported Saturday.
Unified by the hashtag, "WeWillBurnUSAgain," the campaign has prompted references to the 9/11 attacks and past lone wolf attacks in the West along with promises for future ones.
Content tweeted, along with written messages, included images, videos, and past Daesh media releases.
SITE Director Rita Katz said in a time of lone wolf attacks, and Americans and other Westerners pledging to the Daesh group, this kind of campaign should not be taken lightly.
She added in recent weeks, about 10 Americans were indicted for attempts to act on behalf of the Daesh, and there are many with every passing day that the group operates on Twitter.
Currently, the hashtag has exceeded 15,000 uses—the overwhelming majority of which happening on April 10, the campaign's designated start date.
